[RFC PATCH 1/5] ARM: kernel: add device tree init map function

When booting through a device tree, the kernel cpu logical id map can be
initialized using device tree data passed by FW or through an embedded blob.

This patch adds a function that parses device tree "cpu" nodes and
retrieves the corresponding CPUs hardware identifiers (MPIDR).
It sets the possible cpus and the cpu logical map values according to
the number of CPUs defined in the device tree and respective properties.

The primary CPU is assigned cpu logical number 0 to keep the current
convention valid.

Current bindings documentation is included in the patch:

+* ARM CPUs binding description
+
+The device tree allows to describe the layout of CPUs in a system through
+the "cpus" node, which in turn contains a number of subnodes (ie "cpu")
+defining properties for every cpu.
+
+Bindings for CPU nodes follow the ePAPR standard, available from:
+
+http://devicetree.org
+
+For the ARM architecture every CPU node must contain the following property:
+
+- reg : property defining the CPU MPIDR[23:0] register bits
+
+Every cpu node is required to set its device_type to "cpu".
+
+Example:
+
+	cpus {
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+
+		CPU0: cpu at 0x0 {
+			device_type = "cpu";
+			reg = <0x0>;
+		};
+
+		CPU1: cpu at 0x1 {
+			device_type = "cpu";
+			reg = <0x1>;
+		};
+
+		CPU2: cpu at 0x100 {
+			device_type = "cpu";
+			reg = <0x100>;
+		};
+
+		CPU3: cpu at 0x101 {
+			device_type = "cpu";
+			reg = <0x101>;
+		};
+	};
